I've tried everything here and have the same problem. I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 if it makes any difference.

The official distro works, but obviously I can't use boxserver with it.

EDIT: I worked it out, but now the maps won't build. Any idea why that may be? It seems to have trouble locating the Ultima Directory, and then starts looking for files that aren't actually there... Very strange. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

R-T-B, I am not sure if the registry structure is changed in Vista (don't have it and don't plan on using it). Take a look at the answer I posted in your own thread and see if that works for you. Otherwise someone with Vista experience needs to help you.

For the original PB 2.0.0.5, if you have WinRAR installed, you can rightclick the installer file and manually extract it.

Preferably though, use the newer one I attached here. Make sure you also use the MapViewer.dll update from the same post, as I have not updated those archives yet.

hey i think i found the answer to all of our pandora's box problems... as soon as it is released that is... check this out... Pandora's Box 3.0 - OrBSydia DevNet

I'm try to run Pandora's box under Vista Home Premium, but it keeps hanging up on loading the English.dll: the program says it cannot find it, though it is in the folder!
Any ideas what's going on?

lighterfan2009 · 11-16-2007, 05:16 PM

well see there is your problem... vista... i cant help you with that cuz i wont touch the dang OS i hate it

didymus · 11-16-2007, 05:25 PM

Can't get used to it myself, but my laptop came with it installed. I'll probably replace it when I've finished paying for it.
Hmmm, I wonder if the dll has correctly registered?

Midnightdragon · 11-25-2007, 01:03 PM

I have also read all of the "fixes" and had no luck... xp pro machine here

I've only just noticed this; Pandora expects its language files in a subfolder:
<Pandora folder>\Lang

Try moving it there; does it work now?

Rapitharian · 11-25-2007, 11:59 PM

I am attaching 2 zip files.
For the first file look 4 posts down. I moved it when I updated it.

The second file is the corresponding box server (Box Server SVN268.zip.) I built this zip using the SVN 268. This affect only the account.cs and assemblies.cs scripts. To use this just unzip into your runuo server directory. It will create all the needed files in the right locations. If you don't want to overwrite your account.cs or assemblies.cs files just say no when it asks you if you wish to overwrite.

That is it. This works and you can connect to the box server once you restart your runuo server.

*Remember I made no changes to the code just repackaged everything so it works and is easy to use.

Good Luck and enjoy,
-Rap

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

Any ideas?

Setharnas · 11-27-2007, 08:47 PM

Like, "throw it in the trashcan"? 'Cause I'm about to do that... *sigh*

I'll take a look at it tomorrow, hardly awake right now. Off the top of my head though it looks like PB can't find your UO window.

Rapitharian · 11-27-2007, 09:18 PM

I had the same behavior you did, didymus.
Good news I am running XP Pro.
Dot Net 1.1 and 2.0
I removed 3.5, 3.0 and 2.0, rebooted and reinstalled 2.0
This means if we solve one, we may solve the other.
When I was testing and complied the zip it was based on the assumption that if I could get the client to load it would work.
That was a bad assumption. DOH!
Here is how I handled the problem.

I kept the box server config attached here and went back to the the pandora beta 5.
These two work well together. I was able to connect to my boxserver using the beta 5 client.

Until then use the Boxserver config and beta 5 client.
This will get you through.

Particulars of the error I am getting.

Code:

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

OK didymus,
After thinking about this and playing with the files a bit I think I got it.
It is operating normally for me.
If this works let me know and I will create a new thread with the cleaned up information from the Box server post and this one.

This is a version of the Beta7 for Pandora's Box (Pandora's Box 2Beta7-2.zip.) This has all of the files found in this thread packed into one zip. To use this update install Pandora's box 2 beta 5 then unzip this file into your program files directory. When asked to overwrite the files choose yes to all.
*Note: I built this assuming you performed a default install.

Don't forget you need to check the box that says "Server uses SHA1 hashing" in the client. This is found under the Tools tab, click the Options button, and finally the Server tab. Pandora get the account info from runuo.

If you have used Pandora beta 5 or 6 don't forget you need to delete your Pandora profile.
This is found at the following location.
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURuserNAME\Application Data\Pandora's Box 2\Profiles
Now delete every thin in this folder.

Delete all of your old short cuts and create new ones.
To do this goto C:\Program Files\Pandoras box 2
right click on Pandora.exe and choose send to desktop.
Launch the app and create a new profile.

Good Luck and Enjoy.
-Rap

I just updated the file again at 12:43 AM ET. Cleaned up the empty folders the old one made.

didymus · 11-30-2007, 04:36 PM

Thanks Rapitharian, that seems to have fixed the problem.

I Haven't installed the Box server though, as I've never used it.
What can it be used for?

hungry4knowhow · 12-11-2007, 06:03 PM

ditto, thanks for that Rap fixed everything for vista

Hi,
I am using Vista, I put Framework 1.1 and my PB stop just after launching on "loading".

I'try 2.0.0.7, it's the same problem.

Anyone find solution to make run PB on vista?

Thanx

Rapitharian · 01-03-2008, 12:47 PM

Gauge,
I need more information on this problem.
I know your OS is Vista.
Do you have dotnet framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed?
Pandora needs both right now.
Make sure you don't have dotnet framework 2.5 or 3 installed.
Have you used pandora before the upgrade?
did you install pandora as the administrator?

Azhra,
Do you have dotnet framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed?
Pandora needs both right now.
My guess is you need to delete your pandora profile. See my post above this one for how to do this.

Thanx to help me.

I have framework 1.1 and 2. I'dont know if I have 2.5 or 3. Perhaps they are integrated to vista.

I have an other probleme, "Document's and setting" repertory doesn't exist in vista. So i cant find where are my profile.

When i make a search for "profiles" , it find nothing.

Now, my PB launch , and desapeared quickly but he is still in the taskbar.

Any idea?

(excuse my english, i'm french)

You can find the profile under Vista in:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Pandora's Box 2\

FYI: With Vista the .NET Framework 3.0 is pre-installed and cannot be deleted - and wether this nor .NET 3.5 should make any trouble to .NET 2.0 or 1.1 applications 'cause it is internal completly seperated. To deinstall those Framework-Versions aren't any solution to descripted problems...

In my case I run some debugging and refactoring tools to determine whats the concret problem was. After hours and hours of trying I now get it working with following solution:

Using the ZIP-File from Rapitharian I made the complete folder "c:\Program Files\Pandora" accessable for everyone: Right-click in explorer on it, choose Properties, select the third tab "Security", click on "Edit..." to change permissions, click on "Add...", enter the object name "everyone", "OK", select this Group and check the checkbox near "Full control" for this group.

Then deleting the old profiles in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Pandora's Box 2\ and start Pandora to make a new profile.

In case you want to use the Box-Server there is a nice workaround: Just fill out everything and check SHA1-Encryption. Then open in your profile-folder the file Profile.xml, search for your Boxserver-settings (near line 182) and overwrite the encrypted password with the string you find in the account.xml of your RunUO-Server.

Hope this step-by-step-instructions will help somebody

I still don't understand the trouble with the login procedure. The code is as it should be (AFAICS), and it works on my system. Did you find any messed up code regarding that? I'd love to know.

Rapitharian · 01-04-2008, 04:13 PM

Azhra,
Please see the info posted by Ánheledir. It is good Vista advice.
Make sure you right click on the icon in the taskbar and close the application before performing his steps.

Let us know if this helps.

Setharnas,
Who was that question directed to?

Mostly Ánheledir, simply because he mentioned going through the source himself. But an answer from you or anybody else would not be any less welcome.

Take a look at the answer I posted in your own thread and see if that works for you. Otherwise someone with Vista experience needs to help you. Last edited by Setharnas; 11-01-2007 at 01:52 AM.

Pandora needs both right now. Make sure you don't have dotnet framework 2.5 or 3 installed. Have you used pandora before the upgrade? did you install pandora as the administrator?
